JITNK I, 1865. It affords us gratification to record the fact that every possible effort has been made by loyal Americans and others in Honolulu to honor the memory and becomingly notice the death of President Lincoln. The sad intelligence was received May Sth, and on the following day at 12 o'clock M. there was at Fort street Church the largest gathering of foreigners, for religious purposes, we have ever seen in Honolulu. Mr. McBride, our Minister Resident, appropriately stated the object for which the assembly had been called together. The choir followed with appropriate music. Select portions of Scripture were read, and a prayer offered by the Rev. S. C. Damon. His Honor, Chief Justice Allen, then addressed the audience, and was followed by the Rev. E. Corwin. Their addresses have already been published. All the exercises were most solemn and impressive. Religious exercises becoming the occasion were also held in the Roman Catholic and Reformed Catholic Churches. The Hawaiian Government ordered the National Flag lowered, and all officers to wear crape for fourteen days. We cannot imagine any observance, omitted, the performance of which could have added a deeper solemnity to the day, or been the! occasion of showing additional respect to the Illustrious Dead. Events of such momentous magnitude as the closing of the civil war in America, and the death of President Lincoln, occur but seldom in the slow progress of centuries. The Great Rebellion had most marvelously disturbed the elements ol society and trade throughout the world, and now to have, from the receding thunder clouds of war, an angry flash prostrates the noble man at the head of the great Republic, makes the civilized world stand aghast. We hope the waves of political strife and civil war will soon subside, and when the elements do become tranquil and calm, may it be in obedience to Him who said to the troubled waters of the Galilean Lake, eighteen hundred years ago, " Peace, be still." May 24th, Queen Victoria's Bibthday. Mr. Green, H. B. M's Acting Commissioner and Consul General, gavea lunch at the Town Hall on this occasion. It was an exceedingly pleasant gathering of the citizens and sub- jects of various nationalities. Mr. Green merits the thanks of the community for thus observing this event. It is well to pour a little oil upon the troubled waters. Americans nre always happy to honor Queen Victoria. Not only is she a good Queen, but a good mother, and a good Christian. We respect and love her. Her influence has been good in all circles and walks of life. Her Court has been one of the purest that ever existed on earth, and the world has felt its influence. " Long live Queen Victoria." We have received letters from Rev. L. Smith, H. M. Whitney, Esq., and John H. Cole, Esq., in all of which there are references to the profound impression made upon the people of San Francisco, by the announcement of President Lincoln's death. 41 {(MSttttS, M.22.

How or " what a day impressively these scriptural declarations and those of my text are illustrated by events which have recently transpired on the other side of the globe. All the loyal people of that great country, stretching from the shores of the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the Gulf to the Lakes, were preparing for such a day of thanksgiving and jubilee as never had been .witnessed on the Western Continent. The national feeling which, during four years of civil war had been repressed, was rising, and about to burst forth in such scenes and shouts ofrejoicing as would have made the " welkin ring." The dove ofpeace which had, during those four long years, been confined to the ark,rocked and tossed upon the troubled waters of civil strife, political contentions and cruel war, had now been released, and with the olive branch in her mouth, was winging her flight over mountains and valleys, broad savannahs and boundless prairies. The good news was flashed with lightning speed over the land and the world. The dark clouds were rolling away, and the sun of the nation's glory was beginning to shine, and the rainbow of peace was distinctly seen spanning a continent, as in days of yore, when lo ! from the receding black clouds of secession, treachery and slavery, there darted forth a fiendish �I II X 42 rHILMI, JIM.. 1865. arm, holding in its hand an assassin's dagger.

I bid you all an affectionate fare- merely by tho achievements of our noble " — • soldiers and the masterly statesmanship of our Cabinet Ministers, Senators and Representatives, but there was a power behind all these outward manifestations. That power was prayer—the prayers, too, of the poor. Washington he uttered similar sentiments at Says the son of Sirach. " A prayer out of a well." During the delivery of this short address the audience was much affected, and when it closed there was the hearty response, " We will piny for you." During his progress to ' 'poor man's mouth reacheth to the ears ol .God, and His judgment cometh speedily." will " He The hear the prayer of the oppressed." prayer of the humble pierccth the " clouds, and till it come nigh he will not be comforted, and will not depart till the Most High shall behold to judge righteously and execute judgment." Mr. Lincoln recognized that power of prayer, as I have already shown, when he left his home for the White House at Washngton. How intensely interesting the fact that .while he was thus occupied with the great and momentous affairs of thirty millions of people—of whom four or five millions were in open rebellion, and a million more were girded as soldiers, yet even amidst all these cares he did not neglect the poor who were lib neighbors, as the following incident will show: A newspaper correspondent from Chicago one day dropped m upon Mr. Lincoln, and found him busy counting greenbacks. " This, sir," said the President, in his cheerful way, " is something out of my usual line ; but a President of the United States has a multiplicity of duties not specified in the Constitution or Acts of Congress. This is one of them. This money belongs to a poor negro, who is porter in one of the Departments, (the Treasury) who is at present ill with the small-pox. He is now in the Hospital, and could not draw his pay because he could not sign his name. I have been at considerable trouble to overcome the difficulty and get it for him, and have at length succeeded in cutting red tape, as your newspaper men say. 1 am now dividing the money and putting by a portion labeled, in an envelope, with my own hands, according to his wish." Such unostentatious acts of kindness need no comment. Our Savior said, when upon earth, shall give to drink unto one "ofAnd whosoever these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward." I doubt not that the good man is now reaping his reward in glory for befriending the poor colored porter who could not write his name—sick with the small-pox in the Hospital. It is an interesting fact that the American citizen at home and abroad, however humble his lot, was not forgotten by him. When it was reported at Washington through the correspondence of our Minister, to Mr. Seward, that a sailor had been ill-treated at the Marquesas Islands, Mr. Lincoln immediately directs that five hundred dollars in gold be devoted to the purchase of presents, to/be distributed among Hawaiian Missionaries and others who had rescued the unfortunate man. It is an interesting fact that the very last public address which Mr. Lincoln ever made, March 17th, was in reference to colored soldiers being employed by the rebels. He remarked that he hoped they would try the experiment In all his efforts in behalf of the colored people of America, he has endeavored to manage the subject with an enlightened regard to the highest Christian duty to his country and to God. Having shown that Mr. Lincoln was actuated as a public officer by Christian principle, 1 am fully confident that he was truly an experimental Christian, one whose Christianity did not begin and end in a mere formal acknowl- ' edgment of Divine Providence. The follow- �fI X KRI t, N I), Jl.\ L, ing incident is reported by the Rev. Mr. Adams, a Presbyterian minister of Philadelphia. He was on a visit to Washington, and had made an appointment to call upon the President at the White House, at five o'clock in the morning. Says Mr. Adams, " Morning came, and I hastened my toilet and found myself at a quarter to five in the waiting room of the President. I asked the usher if 1 could see Mr. Lincoln. He said I could meet not. ' But I have an engagement to 'At ?' what hour 'At this morning.' him tive o'clock.' ' Well sir, he will sec you at five.' 1 then walked to and fro for a few minutes, and hearing a voice, as it ■in»»W conversation, 1 asked the servant, Who is talking in the next room ?' 'It is the President, sir.' 'Is anybody with him?' 'No sir, he is reading the Bible.' 'Is that his habit so early in the morning?' ' Yes sir, o'clock he spends every morning from four and praythe scriptures tive in reading to is ing.' " How beautiful an illustration this of the injunction of our Savior, " But thou, when thou praycst, enter into thy closet, and pray to thy Father which is in secret." How beautiful an instance of one who followed our Savior's devotional habit, who, " in the morning, rising up a great while before day," went out and prayed. heaven, lets down a stream ardent opens " Prayer s'ory on the consecrated hour l>r with the Deity in 01 man, audience I The following incident, however, sets forth Mr. Lincoln's views upon the question of vital godliness, in the very strongest light: Several months before his ever-to-be-lamented death, a gentleman called upon him on business. After the business was closed and they were about to part, the gentleman said to the President, " On leaving home a friend requested me to ask Mr. Lincoln whether he loved Jesus." The gentleman makes the following report : " The President buried his face in his handkerchief, turned away and wept." He then turned and said, " When I left home to take the chair of state I requested my countrymen to pray for inc. I was not then a Christian. When my son died—the severest trial of mv life—l was not a Christian. But when f went to Gettysburgh, and looked upon the graves of our dead heroes who had fallen in defense of their country, I then and there consecrated myself to Christ. Ido love Jesus." This simple and touching confession needs no comment. It opens to the world the heart and religious experience of the good man. The people felt that he was honest in all hi-t dealings with them, and so he was equally honest with himself and God. These few simple utterances, welling up from the depths of his heart, and accompanied with tears, will ever be cherished by Christians of every name and sect as the most precious sayings of his life. They touch the tendcrest chord in the Christian's heart. Christians of every name will ever regard him as a brother beloved, but departed, and when thinking of him as departed the language of the Burial Service will not be inappropriate ; "It hath pleased Almighty God, in His wise Provi-of dence to take out of this world the soul our deceased Brother!" Think not, my hearers, that 1 have brought forward these facts and incidents in the lifeit of our lamented President, because I think requirrs an argument in the style of special Ih«j. pleading to prove his adherence to the principles of Christianity and the doctrines of the New Testament. No, his Christian, as well as his public and political character, is known and read of all men. With him there was no reserve or concealment. His character was perfectly transparent. His faults as well as his virtues were equally apparent, ■ And e'eu hit failings ItaaYSj to virtue't tide." He went to the theatre on thatfatal night, the telegraph informs us, because he wished to please his friends and not disappoint the people, who were expecting the presenco of Gen. Grunt. , -' Hislire was gentle sutl the elements So mixed in him that Nature might stsnd up Aod say to all the world. This was a man." In turning our thoughts from a contemplation of his character to our bleeding country, the question forces itself upon every thoughtful mind, what will be the effect of Abraham Lincoln's assassination upon the Nation ? Our latest dates afford us, as yet, no facts by which we can satisfactorily answer this question. Time must determine. Our minds must for the present find consolation in dwelling upon the great truth that God lives and reigns, and that He is able and will make the wrath of man to praise Him." "We may also recall to mind some of those pages of history wherein somewhat similar events are recorded. When Brutus and his fellow-assassins smote down Cresar in the Senate at Rome, they supposed that with Caesar's death Caesar's influence would no longer be felt. They were disappointed. Caesar disappeared, but, exclaims Cicero, the acts of Casar's life, his writings, I'hisAllwords, his promises, his thoughts, are more powerful after his death than if he were still alive." So I trust, and doubt not, it will be with the life, writings, words, promises, thoughts of Abraham Lincoln. His blood has stamped an impress upon these which will immeasurably increase their value throughout all coining time. When the hired assassin, Balthazar Gerard, brought to an untimely end the eventful life of William the Silent, Prince of Orange, on the 10th of July, 1584,Philip 11., all the enemies of civil and religious liberty, imagined that with the death of the Prince of Orange would end his usefulness. But O, how disappointed were these men ! In the beautiful language of Motley, " The Prince was entombed amid the tears of a whole nation. Never was a more extensive, unaffected and legitimate sorrow felt at the death of any human being. As long as he lived he was the guiding star of a whole brave nation, and when he died the little children cried in the streets." The Commonwealth which William had liberated forever from Spanish tyranny continued to exist as a great and flourishing Republic during more than two centuries, under the successive stadtholderates of his sons and descendants. So 1 doubt not a similar result will follow the assassination of the il« lustrious man whose most unexpected death we now lament. He died the martyr to Liberty. He was assassinated by the hand of Booth, but it was negro-chattle slavery which nerved that arm and prompted that basest of crimes in the annals of nations. IThis was the crowning act of the slavehold- er, rebellion Sumter was fired upon on the 43 112th of April, 1861, Booth shot President .Lincoln on the 14th of April, 1865. The same bad animus that first struck down the flag in '61 fired the assassin's bosom when (he smote down the President, Commanderin-Chief of all the military and naval forces of the Republic. No powers of metaphysical analysis can separate the two. Perhaps it was needed that this crime of crimes should be perpetrated to arouse the minds of the American people to the awful enormity of the crime of slavery and treason. The deed has been accomplished, and henceforth and forever, in the minds of all loyal Americans and lovers of liberty throughout the. world, a stigma has been fastened upon the crime of slavery and treason which can never be wiped away. However much we may pity the unfortunate dupes of the leaders of that rebellion, the deeds of the instigators and leaders can never be palliated, for their crimes all culminated in Booth's assassination of Abraham Lincoln. How the perpetrator of that crime shall be punished remains to be seen, but woe be unto those who arouse the wrath of a nation of thirty millions of people ! Solomon compares the wrath of a King to " the roaring of a lion," and to " messengers of death ;" but to what shall be compared the people's wrath! Mr. Lincoln couki not execute that wrath ! He found it, from the overflowing kindness of his nature, almost impossible to punish the guilty. Perhaps there was no trait of his character to which his enemies took more exception, and over which his friends more deeply mourned. It sometimes seriously embarrassed the regular administration of justice. The officers ol the army and the Government said it was useless to arrest offenders and traitors, for Mr. Lincoln would pardon them. At the last meeting of the Cabinet, held only the day before his death, Mr. Lincoln expressed his determination to deal in the most liberal manner with the rebellious States. As it has been well remarked, " The great, capacious, manly heart.of Abraham Lincoln was generous enough to have embraced all within the forgiveness of its loving nature, and in their madness they have killed him." The best friend of the rebels was assassinated by one. of themselves, and no doubt if he could have again spoken he would have prayed in the language of our Savior on the Cross, " Father forgive them, they know not what they do." The event to which yourattention has now been called will not pass into oblivion and be forgotten. It was not done in a corner, but the crime was perpetrated, as it were, in the presence of a gazing crowd of spectators infinitely larger than that gathered in the theater where, it took place. Abraham Lincoln was assassinated on the world's wide stage. There was a great cloud of witnesses. Now what shall be its influence upon the Nation and the world, we know not now, but we shall know hereafter. It will be overruled for good. How unspeakably thankful we all should be that he was spared thus long to the Nation, even to see a virtual ending of the rebellion. God permitted this stunning blow to fall for the accomplishment of some wise purpose. I do believe that in after years and ages it will be seen to have been necessary for bringing about the final triumph of justice nnd ttuth, and the punishment of the �THE FRIEND, JUNE, 1865. 44 guilty.

The reproach is now wiped away that the American Government ignores God's presence and agency in the affairs of this world. Our Minister Resident has called public attention to this subject. Religious services will be held this morning, at eleven o'clock, at the Bethel, and at half past seven o'clock this evening at Fort street Church. The Rev. H. Parker will deliver a discourse at the evening service. Americans and all sympathizing with them are respectfully invited to attend these exercises. of war and commotion. Surely we have witnessed enough to make us trustful and confiding. It seems to be a law or principle which God observes in his management of nations as we\l as individuals, that when He would bestow some signal favor He prepares the way by severe chastisements. Surely I think we may hope that God has great good in store for that people when he shall have chastised them for that great sin of slavery. That must be removed before the millennium come and the Gospel shall everywhere triumph. In the appropriate language of Longfellow, I would exhort you, "Look not mournfully upon the past; it comes not back again. Wisely improve the present; it is thine. Go forth and meet the shadowy future, without fear and with a manly heart." Let us not go forth, however, trusting in an "arm of flesh," but in God, our Savior and Deliverer, most fully believing the sentimept of the text, " What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shall know We learn from Mr. McBride, our hereafter."

This question will not be satisfactorily decided until the negro has secured to him all those civil, social and religious rights which white men claim for themselves. The sooner nations and individuals yield that point, the sooner the negro question will be decided. The negro is a man, and as such his rights must be conceded, or there will be agitation. It cannot be helped. The South denied the negro his rights, and so came the war. All men are " born free and equal." Slavery Dies Hard.—The newspapers and " everybody " say that slavery is dead. We hope so, but depend upon it, the old spirit of slavery will still show itself in a thousand forms. Mrs. Childs has well expressed this idea in a late "Independent: " This pro-slavery devil, afterhe has come out, with such terrible rending and tearing, will assume all manner of Protean shapes for mischief. He will squat like a toad, twist like a snake, and coo like a dove. Fortunately, Charles Sumner carries Ifhu. riel's spear, and will detect him in all disguises. Beyond all statesmen in this country, or any other, I honor Charles Sumner." " Mr. H. L. Chase has been taking some excellent photograph* of the lamented Presi d«mt Lincoln ) U. S.

The value of the draft is exceeded by the value of the example of the unity of all true Christian ptu triots, however scattered over the earth, ana of the power of faith and love to wing their way over oceans and continents when Christ and country calls for aid. The Christian women of America have done much to soften the rigors of war, and to infuse into our armies the gentle and powerful influence of the love of Christ; but it is fitting that those who have carried the banner of the cross to heathen lands, and planted it in triumph on the fallen fortress of idolatry, should have the honor of leading the Churches at home by an example of liberality on behalf of their native country, which I doubt not will stir us all up to renewed efforts in our Blessed Redeemer's cause.

Dear Editor :—We have just read the details of the sad tragedy at Washington. Wt have not heard what were the feelings of our friends in Honolulu, or how they manifested them ; but here, though we have not the numbers nor the opportunity for public display, there was grief heartfelt and manifest when we heard the news, with irrepressible tears. We have all lost a friend, a father. I saw tears in the eyes of natives when they heard the sad news. Said one, 1 am grieved as if I heard of the death "of my King." Well may they mourn, for Lincoln was the true, single-hearted friend of man, of all men, of the poor, the despised, the crushed. How deep must have been the grief of the poor negroes who have so long hailed " Alassa Linkum " as their deliverer, and whom last New Year he greeted with such unexpected warmth. Better for the dying man, those tears of tbe poor, than all the rest of the mourning of his people. For their sakes, will Christ have assured him, " Inasmuch as you did this unto one of the least of these, my brethren, you did it unto me." God grant that this terrible stroke may incite the nation to no vindictiveness. May they rather, humbling themselves before the Lord, repent of their past complicity with slavery, and of their disposition even yet to make some sort of terms with it. Aroused by this culminating act of its malignity, may they at length, as a whole people, see revealed the depths of its diabolical villainy, and on the grave of their martyred leader, before the L° T4. vowrelentlessly to extirpate DEPARTURES. May of Abraham Lincoln and that of the Prince Each the idolized and successful leader of hisRepublic, in a mortal struggle with the principle of despotism, each struck down by the assassin's bullet in the hour of completed victory. Yours, B. of Orange. Loyal Americans in England.—I am not dazzled with the glitter of royally, but I am forced to feel a sympathizing apprecia- tion of those sentiments which underlie the most fixed and unfaltering loyalty. When I was in a vast assembly recently, not less than ten thousand being present, the choir sang "God Save the Queen." It was in the Crystal Palace, where hats were worn, and at the first sound of the tune, every man rose and uncovered. I could not help doing the same thing. And I was conscious, moreover, of having in my bosom the same warm love for the idea and the fact of Government in our free Republic. This is something which the subject of a kingdom cannot understand. He does not see a king or a queen, or any sacred personality, and hence he doubts the fact of government. Every loyal American can assure the world that Am Government is his Queen; that this impersonal and invisible thing is a sovereignty in his appreciation ; that for this great reality he is willing to suffer, and, if need be, to die. America is proving to-day that Government is a fixed idea, and a real thing, however it may lack the charm of a royal family. May God hold us firmly up to the great experiment, that we may prove to the world that Government in the interest of the people alone is not a dream, but a demonstrated fact.—Am. cor. in England. About 1500 children are already attending the public Schools in Charleston, S. C. There has been no parallel to this fact in the history of any captured city in the insurrectionary States.

In bait an hour we had to leave the ship, aa ahe was lying nearly oo her broadside, heeled off shore, and thumping heavily. During the night the masts went over theside, and in the morning she was all broken up. Sold the wreck to Capt. Babcock, Agent of the A. O.
